OUR OWN SECTION—WE LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT LAWRENCEVILLE, GA. JULY 21 1885. . i • ‘ , , t u-lu -iU.— '.*»* ~t>L Bee Culture. AN ESSAY READ BEFORE the ftoucifoss Agri cultural club, JUNE 13, 1885. BY C. BUSH. Iu com] liance with the request of this honorable body, I read you a short essay on bee culture. But owing to the press of business, I have not been able to write such and article as Twhould have been pieced to submit for your consid eration, oon a sudject of so much importance as the management of the honey beee. The natura' pas turage in Georgia i» imply suf ficient to enable every family in ihe country, to have hooey or their tables the year routid; and more than this, to enhance tbe wealth of the .State millions of dollars annually, with only a small outlay *>f capital, and a little at teEtion at me proper time. Those who do not own a acre cf land can have as maDy bees as they wish, and will not tresspass upon the property of others in so doing Our genial clime is another reason why we should give this industry more attention. We have no need of putting our bees in cellars to winter them, as do tlur friend* at the north. Here we have seven mon(hs in the vear in which our bees can be actively engaged in the fields, with the most bountiful honey yeilds. Still with all these natural advantages we haveffor years been allowing bee keepeis north to outstrip us so far in Agriculture, as to cause us 1 to read their reports of honey crops with ast-onisnient.. What is Lhe largest reliable hooey report on record? Mr. G M. Doolittle 1 of Barodiuo N. Y. obtained from one colony of bees in one season, five hundred and sixty siq pounds of extracted honey ; He also ob tained from one colony io one ceasou three hundred aud eight pounds of comb honey. 1 must confess it was hard for me to bes Jieve this reliable report until last year, when I obtained over two bvwdred pounds of extracted honey flow-one colony on poplar alone, aid.lost the basswood crop by ex cessive .rains : With the great strength of.my colonies I did ex pect during,Mm twenty days uu~ exualed flow from Basswood to get four hundred pounds of exs traded honey from my best hives, and make an average of three buns dred pounds of extracted honey from each colony, THE RACES OF BEES. We have Out iwo disdiuct races of which have attained suf fieent notoriety to reqaite t»ur at tention .at present. The black bees, which are the pioneers, and were years imported from Germany ; they .have the monopoly of America, from its eariy settles ment but with littlo success with but lii tie success, and now like the “He® man of the forjest Me dess tined to oe supplanted .by « su perior race of bees. Since the im portation of those beutiful, golden banded, gentle Italians, .tine change has been ropid and of lasting beues fit to our eoudtry. I will state here that the hooey reports above were obtained from pure Italian bees, and nothing to even approximate was ever reports ed from the olacks ; I might give you the main, points of difference oft the two races mentioned, but will only give some of the excel lent points of the Italians which which the blacks* do not possess. Ist, /taiians are very gentle and will maintain their positions on (he combs while handling them with perfect composure. Snd, They are the ji>retth?Bt bee known, tend none of ns are in different to beauty even in the smallest flowers or insects. 3rd, They have the greatest length us tongue, being able to gather honey front red clover, <o athich fact 1 aai an eye witness. 4tb, They have tba greatest strength of wmg having been known to f)v seven miles from an Island to gather stores. 6tb, They are absolutely * moth proof bee, no one ever having known a aplony pure Italians to be infested in the least with the wax moth, uot even if kept iu a vail keg. I have been iu the hab it foe yearn of taking all combs which 1 have set away when they become iufeet.d with worms, and exchange them with a hive, which they always thoroughly clean of worms patch up all holes making them as good as new combs, thus saving me hundred pound* of ex tracting combs during the year; I tied this less trouble and more satisfactory than fumigation. WHAT KIND or BEES ARE IN A HIVE ? There are but two kinds male ! and female, (he drones are the males. ThequV lays two kinds l of eggs, a fertilized eg g from which are reared all working bees and queens, aud an unfertilized j eggs from which only drones are I reared : WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE IN THE TIMS OF HATCHING The queen is ha'ched from the egg in in sixteen days, being nourished with ’.he richest food which is termed ‘ royal jfaliy" and consists of honey, Pollen and worker eggs, partly digested. The worker bees are hatched from the same kind of an egg as the queen, but require twenty one days to hatch- The drones hatch from an unfertilized egg in twenty four days. HOW CAN THE *MOST HONEY BE BE CURED. Thin can be done by the use of an £Xtraeter, which enables the btss to refill the combs ovei ami over again, without the delay aud expense of spinning new combs every time to (be tilled , Mi. Doo little a most excellent autbrity rect, commends extracting the honey before it is sealed, in wh ch I con cur Begin extracting aa soon as a few cells are sealed at ihe top of the frame, theu the honey is sos ficiently ripe to prevent any fer mentation, and by putting it in new tin cans and covering securer ly with thin cloths; during sum mer it will attain the consistency of thoroughly ripened honey. By extracting at this stage yon will vav(i much time and uselesss labor both to yourself and bees, Tha best plan I navs ever found was l<> Imve a set of empty combs to be gin with, lake the frames of bonty from the lirst hive, and fill it with the empty combs, then extract and continue exchanging te the last> whon you will have a set of combs to begin with again, I use “Muth’s standard extractor" and prefer it to any other, on account of its durability, its slopping comb bask ets, aßd the ease, and velocity of its motions. DOES IT PAY TO USE COMB FOUNDA TION’S t There can be to question about this, and there is no condition in which there is any danger of using too much. A swarm put on fu.li sheets of foundation, will accomp lish as much in eight or ten days as they would with starters only, in twenty to twenty five days. J use the Durham foundation for brood and extrac ing combs, and the Vanderwood for sections. The Dur.ham will run about sev en square fut to the pound, and Vanderwood from ten to twelve square fut to the pound, Has the use of comb foundation any other advantage, besides, besides exped inb comb building, yes it insures stra'gnt combs, which are a conn tinnal source of pleasure both to bees and bee keepers, ane saves much time, and prevents the loss of many a good queen, you can look through their hives with straight combs and note their con dition preciselp. while fussing with ece hive wish crooked and double combs, and Lave it at last lAuth a very meagre idea of its con dition. You will ofien find it neccessary to exchange cards of comb with the different hives then this crooked comb will not fit, and the bees will fill up this space, by spinning an ex tra sheet of comb between them again; and so the trouble will only idcrease all the time. HOW TO PREVENT AN KXEESR OF SWARMIMi. The first plan w hich I shall give is the best, and that is give your bees sufficient' room both in lb* Brood and Surplus apartments,and Jo this before they commence prep arations or swarming as it will be too late. Remember Italians are much more prolific than black bees and require a.« a natural couses quenee largsr apartments. Give your queens ample ioom for one hundred thousands worker bees, allowing fifty cells to the square inch, including both sides of the comb. Secondly look through the Brood chamber eight days after the first swarm issues, and if you find a young queen (which you will generally do) cut out all re maining cells, if you do not find the bees already cui ting them down, if so, you may rely upou them completing the job and leave it with them. Sometimes during a good honey yield, the bees nog lect to do this, aud after swarms are the result. I would advise working your bees for honey and allow no increase, or work for in crease without expeotiug any sur plus honey. Or if yon desire more bees and some honey .also, set apart a number of colonies for each pur pose. HOW TO MANAGE SWARMS. Keep all your queens clipped, and when a swarm issues catch the queen in a “Peat queen cage,’ by drawing tne tin slide half out ana inverting the cage over her, when she will run up in the oage, and you will avoid touol tng her, thus preventing the bees from at» tacking and sometimes destroying hei from the sceui left on her by handling. Having secured the queen pul her in the shade, and remove the hive from which they issued to a new place, put another hive just like it iu ita stead, while the swarms are on the wing (per -1 aps they will partly cluster on some limbs near by) and in a few minutes Uaviag failed to find their queen tbay will begin returning to old location. Now when a about a dozen bees are at the entrance of the pewniye release the queen on the plighting board by alipping back the glide ana holding (he cage on it* edge until the queen crawls out, always watch io see tna' she enters and remains in the hive until the bees are gejng iu well. BOW to 014 F OUEKNB. Find the comb she is on, and place one end of the frame od a supportt, holding the upper end with the left hand, run one point of your soisson- under one or both w ; ngs as yon chanee to get them, aDd clip them off, being careful during the operation not to press the queeD, as she is very easily kill ed when full of egg. Never clip a queen until you are sure she is laying, for if she tot fertilized be fore being clipped she will only be A worthless drot e layer. Are some s rrins of I'almus more gentle ban others ?’’ From suy expo ienoe with several differ ent importations i must s.iy there are s n»e * rail s much more gen tie than others, I Dought a colo ny of Dr. Brown of Augusta whose unenqualed gentleness, beau ty and bouey gathering capacity induced me at once to supercede all my other gueens witu that strain, and having bought up, ex changed, or Italianized all the black bees within range of my apiary, I aui enabled to keep them in their purity. WHAT IS THE BEST POSITION FOR HIVES? Alwuvs Lave the entrance due South, thus protecting your bees from the bleak winter wious rush ing in upon them which together with those ruw eastern winds do ‘hern much harm in the wither, and . also in early spring when Broad reading is weil under way. Secondly your hives should lie perfectly level, und to have no mistake about it you had bettei use a spirit level for this purpose. I prater to have my flames ran from east to. west, end give my hives a slight incline forward to keep out rain from the bottom board. Bees while spinning their combs are suspended, and always work to a perpendicular line, re gardless of die pisi ion of Ibe Live, so adjust your Lives tosmtUnir unvarying rules, and you will be satisfied with the result of their labors. 0, Bosh.

Said the printer, who was acustomer; “What woul you think of me if I should go to new York and buy your line of goods for myself and family V* The merchant replied : “/ would think you a fool when I know ycu can get the same goods just as cheap of meand at the same time aid a fellow citizen. When the printer called his at tention to the important letter and bill beads, the merchant coughed and walked up behind the counter to wait on a customer Aud the same merchant just the day before, asked the printer to give him a puff about his big stock of new goods ! When the bills from the paper mills aud type foundry came iu and the wages of employers became due. the printer thought of these things.

A BOY WITH A BULGE “No, my son,’’ he replied, as he put on his bat, ‘'you can’t go to the circus,” t‘But why father?’’ “Well in the first place I can’t fool away my money on such things.’ “Yes. but I have enougn of my own.”. “And in tue next place it is a rongh crowd, the sentiment is urn healthy, and no respectable person can countenance such thinks.’' “But fath—,” “That’s enough sir ! You can’t go ! I want you to enjoy your self but you must seek some more respectable amusement. An hour later a curious thing happened at the circus tent. A boy climbod to the top flight of sea) 8 and sat down beside a man who had just finished a glass of lemon&de and was lighting a cigar He bad his plug hat on the back of his head and seemed to be en joying hj use'f hugely. It was father and sou. The father had gone straight to the grounds frern dinner, and they boy had run away They looked at each other for half a minute, and then the boy got in the first blow by whispering - •‘Say, dad, if you won’t lick me I woe 1 ' tell ma you was here !” The father nodded his head to the agreement and the great specs acular parade in tire ring began. A FRANK EXPLANTION. Twc men straugers to each oth sat side by side it the Rrush street depot the other day, One of them a corpulent, pompous man and the other undersized and humble looking. A third man ap proached and without looking at thew directly Jat either one in quired i “Say, Major, will you tell me what time the ./Viagra Falls train leave this side ?” Both men pulled out their watches and made answer in chor us, but as they did so the pomp uous man turned in his seat and said ; ‘•I suppose he was addressirg me, as he mentioned my otle.” “Did you say Major!” asked the lit/le man of the inquirer. “I believe I did.” “Ob—ah ! i beg a tboushnd pardons, / understood you to say colonel and thought you meant me of course.” tne big nau lost ten pounds of flesh in the next two mioutes; and it took twenty minutes’ hard walk ing under the freight sheds to cool him off. THE BENEVOLENT OLDMAN Just as the nevening was clos ing in a curley. headed little boy was standing on Ziptoe on ibe door step of a house in Cheioea, trying to reach the door bell Just then a b-nevolem old man passed along He paused, and with a kindly; smile, patted ibe boy on ihe head. “My son, that door-bell is a li t tie beyond your reach, isn’t it ?” GWINNETT HE HA t. “ A WIDE AWAKE COUNTY NEWSPAPER. 108 PRINTING A special feature.

POINTERS FOR ADVER TISERS. Don’t expect an adverfisment to bear fiuit in one night. You can’t eat enough in a week to lrst you a year, and you can’t advertise on that plan either. The enterprising advertiser proves that he unlerstands how to buy because in apver*is:rg he knows how lo sell, People who advertise only once in ;hree months, forget that most people caDnot remembei anything longer than seven days. If you can arouse curiosity by an advertisement, it is agreat point gained The fair sex doesn’t uold all the curiosity in this wide world of ours. Quitting advertising in dull times is like tearing out a dam when the water is low. Either plan wile prevent good times from ever coming. Trying to do business withaut advertising is like winking at a pre ty girl through green geggles Yon may know what you doing but no one else does. Enterprising traders are be* gming to ham the value of sdver using the year around. The per sistency of those who are uot iu timidafed by the cry of dull times, bus keep their names ever before he public, will sure place them out the right side infhe eu 1, A SUDDEN RISE IN VALUES. “Where are you going with tne puppies, my little mon t” asked a gentleman of a small boy whom he met with three pups in a basket. “Go itg to drown them,” was the reply “I want a pup for my little boy to play with.
